Summary: The results of this study show that the microstructure, resistivity, and magnetoresistive properties of LSMO films grown by the pulsed injection MOCVD technique are strongly influenced by the concentrations of strontium and manganese. The highest metal-insulator transition temperature (T-m) observed was 270 K, while the highest low-field magnetoresistance at room temperature was 0.8%.

Summary: This paper presents the colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) properties of La0.83Sr0.17Mn1.21O3 (LSMO) films grown using pulsed injection MOCVD technique on different substrates. The results show that the morphology, microstructure, and magnetoresistive properties of the films strongly depend on the substrate used. LSMO/quartz films exhibit higher low-field MR values and sensitivity, making them promising for magnetic sensor applications.

Summary: Control over the movements of free charge carriers across manganite interfaces is achieved through external stimuli that alter electronic phases. A LaMnO3/La0.7Ca0.3MnO3/LaAlO3 (LMO/LCMO/LAO) manganite-manganite structure was successfully fabricated using a cost-effective chemical solution deposition (CSD) method. The resistive nature of the LMO/LCMO interface was studied using a field effect configuration and the impact of external electric fields on resistivity was discussed in terms of free charge carrier movements. The behavior of spin fluctuations in manganite lattices was analyzed using the Zener double exchange (ZDE) polynomial law.

Summary: This paper presents a multifunctional magnetic-photoelectric laminate device that integrates spintronic material (La0.7Sr0.3MnO3) and multiferroic material (Ni-doped BiFeO3), achieving repeatable modulation of photoelectric properties through external magnetic fields. The photocurrent density (J) of the laminate is significantly enhanced, with a change rate of J up to 287.6%. This enhancement is attributed to the low-field magnetoresistance effect in the perovskite manganite and the scattering of spin photoelectrons in the multiferroic material. The laminate combines the functions of a sensor and a controller, capable of reflecting the intensity of the environmental magnetic field and modulating the photoelectric conversion performance. This work provides an alternative and facile approach to achieve multi-degree-of-freedom control for photoelectric conversion performances and miniaturize multifunction devices.

Summary: Flexible perovskite manganite oxide films with excellent low-field magnetoresistance (LFMR) effect were achieved by depositing textured LSMO:ZnO nanocomposite film on a flexible mica substrate with a ZnO buffer using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Compared to the film without buffer, the film with a ZnO buffer exhibited higher saturation magnetization, higher Curie temperature and higher magnetoresistance value at low temperature and high magnetic field. Furthermore, the nanocomposite thin films showed good mechanical stretchability and stability.

Summary: In this study, the relationship between ferromagnetism and metallicity in strained La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 films was investigated. It was found that the half-metallicity of the ferromagnetic metallic (FMM) phase is correlated with spin polarization and occupancy at the Fermi level. These results suggest that the half-metallic behavior predicted by a double-exchange model persists even in phase-separated manganites.

Summary: Integrating functional oxide-based nanocomposite thin films on Si wafer is a significant progress in the field of electronics and spintronics. By using a buffer layer, the lattice mismatch and potential inter-diffusion between complex oxides and Si are effectively overcome, leading to highly textured growth of the nanocomposite films along the c direction. Magnetic measurements reveal a strong ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic coupling in the nanocomposite system.

Summary: Mist-assisted methods in plasma deposition of high-quality thin films have recently gained attention, but little is known about plasma interactions with misted colloidal solutions. Time-resolved optical diagnostics were used to study the deposition of TiO2-SiO2 nanocomposite thin films in low-pressure oxygen-argon plasmas. The presence of nanoparticles in misty plasma effects were dominated by plasma droplets, not plasma-nanoparticle interactions. Subsequent matrix-rich and nanoparticle-rich deposition steps were confirmed using in situ spectroscopic ellipsometry.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of magnetic field on the Drude-type and charge-density-wave (CDW) type low-energy excitations in perovskite manganites. The results show that the THz Drude conductivity increases with magnetic field, while the absorption intensity of CDW-type peak anomalously strengthens. This unusual phenomenon is expected to be related to orbital ordering and charge ordering.

Summary: The study compares the magnetic, magnetocaloric, and dielectric properties of bulk and thin film samples of GdCrO3 with 50% iron substitution. The results show that the thin film exhibits inferior magnetocaloric properties compared to the bulk sample, likely due to reduced magnetization. Further improvements in thin film quality are necessary to enhance magnetization and potential for on-chip cooling in miniaturized devices.

The study found that the ordering temperatures of Cr3+-Cr3+ strongly depend on the ionic radii of the rare-earth. Additionally, the results suggest that GdCrO3 has potential applications in magneto-refrigeration technology.

Summary: The nonlinear magnetoelectric (NLME) effect in a single-crystal Zn substituted nickel ferrite was investigated at room-temperature. The frequency tuning of magnetostatic surface wave (MSSW) modes under a pulsed DC electric field/current was utilized to study the effect. The study proposed a model for the effect and found that the NLME phenomenon can be explained by a reduction in the saturation magnetization due to the applied DC current. The results suggest that the spinel ferrite resonator has the potential for miniature, electric field tunable, planar microwave devices in the 8-20 GHz frequency range.

The results show that the structural parameters and band gaps are dependent on the ionic radii of R, and the modified calculation method is more accurate than the traditional one.
